Possible plant

[Big Lou]

A couple of days ago I discovered a rather alien looking something on the pond's bottom. A bit larger than a golf ball, bright brass in color, cylindrical shaped, perfectly stright thin wire like projections originating from a very small center core. Will attempt to take a photo of it tomorrow. Have you ever heard or seen such a plant? This is not a joke.

Did you see strange lights over the night sky? Sounds like you were visited by a UFO (or would it be a USO?).

Yes, PLEASE GET A PIC! What kind of trees/plants do you have nearby? Could be something like a sycamore ball (?) or other "seed dispersal system" that made its way to your pond -- just speculating...... In the short year that I've had my pond, I'm finding all kind of "stuff" that I never noticed before.

Lol you know you set your self up for that one Lou
I want to see the pic for myself

 

[Big Lou]

Could not help myself. Carefully pulled it up so I could solve the mystery. I think it is an oxgenator plant bleached the brass color by the algaeside. What do you think?

The root still looks good I would stick it in a crack in shallow water

 

[Big Lou]

Yep, it's going back in the pond.

The plant is still in the laundry room. A little concerned it is the latest version of a body snatchers plant! ( alien like smirk )

Well, don't go to sleep with it in your house, for heavens sake! You live too close to me -- I don't want those things heading over here next!
